yay for technology

They replaced the last oldschool greenscreen Bank One ATMs with newschool color-GUI ones while we were out of town. They apparently don't work very well. I went to take 20 bucks out of one, hit the touchscreen over the $20 fast cash button, but on the GUI the $100 button was the one to depress (there is another button between this and the one I hit, so it isn't just that I was mistaken and missed a tiny bit), and it gave me five 20s.

Sadly, it did not only dock my account for one of them.

Content to someday come, honestly.

Touchscreen ATMs kinda suck. I totally want the old ones back.

Yeech... digitizer calibration issues. Nasty.

Yeah, I definitely prefer the version with hardware buttons. (Granted, I have seen a handful where THOSE have gotten out of line with the screen due to bad monitor problems, but it's better than the whole GUI farging up.)
